My favorite dance movie: West Side Story. It takes me back to my early dancing days when I was 100% about jazz dance.

My favorite non-dancing movie is: Super hard to pick. It’s a 3 way tie between Mary Poppins, The Breakfast Club and all of the Hary Potter films. If I’m ever sick in bed I will marathon all of those movies.

When I’m not dancing: I’m probably catching up on the million television shows that I watch or online shopping. I am also a big fan of sitting on a patio with friends and drinking a good beer or two.

My favorite food: Anything that my grandparents make. When it comes to holidays I put my menus requests in early. Also I have a deep deep love for bacon.

Something you might not know about me is: I’ve never seen Scarface all the way through. Everytime I start it I either fall asleep or have to go do something else. But I did sign the tardy log in high school as Tony Montana a couple of times so I didn’t get detention for my millions of tardies.
